I am looking forward to watching my first game of the season and witnessing the re-birth of Keith score em Ballard. It begins tonight, the defence of the PC and a return to the SCF. Ok it began the other night with a point but it begins tonight for real. The road warriors will return and all will be well again.

Looks like we'll see much more balance at the beginning of the year for the tandem.

Hopefully we can see some help from the 2nd line and the can show that they can add secondary scoring. Need a better game from Sturm and Sammy or I think we`ll see Higgins moved up sooner than later.

Well, that really didn't take long. Cory has proven he can be a go to guy. I think this year Luongo will be on a shorter leash and less excuses used to defend him when he sucks. I also think that the Canucks have a huge issue to deal with int he next 2 years regarding Cory. If they are losing any faith in Luongo it is best to let Cory play and see if he is the real deal or not.

If Luongo stays the go to guy them it only helps Cory's trade value. Should be an interesting season.

I would love to see Higgins take Sturm's place on the second line.

Probably won't happen as I doubt AV sees Marco Sturm as fitting the identity of the third line, but.. that second line could use a more effective forechecking presence.
